First, let me introduce myself. I've been around Bitshares since late 2014, back when workers and witnesses were combined as "delegates", and we ran v0.9 as a desktop client. Then in the summer of 2015, I contracted directly for Cryptonomex for a couple months, doing UI work for the light wallet. I've always been fascinated by the tech behind Bitshares.

For several years, I have run a Youtube channel under the brand Chronos Crypto, which consists primarily of news, lectures, walkthroughs, and product reviews. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/c/ChronosCrypto.

The channel just completed it first worker term, which produced the following videos:

Intro to Bitshares, where we take a brief overview of some of the key features that make Bitshares stand out from other blockchain technologies.

I propose to renew this worker role to produce valuable Bitshares videos under the Chronos Crypto brand. The YouTube channel has over 600 subscribers, and is well-known in the bitcoin community, so this content will be dual-purpose: to bring new users to the platform, and to help make Bitshares more comprehensible for all of us.

If elected, I will produce a minimum of 3 Bitshares-related videos per month, and publish them on the YouTube channel. In exchange, the worker role will be 500,000 BTS per month, which is the same rate as the prior worker term.

What impact will two weeks+ of golden beverage drinking have on BitShares future, adoption or development?!

Probably none .. why should it?

At least we met some guys that are well known in the blockchain space and made new contacts. Since BitShares hasn't paid my trip there, I don't really see why you are asking for direct benefits for BitShares (besides the obvious ones)?

Sorry if I sounded like interrogating or asking publicly about your private time. I was just giving a toast sort of thing to the cheerful event!Hopefully everybody enjoyed their time!

This is the perfect worker proposal for this feature, and it's on the list of potential videos. I'll increase its priority. Which do you think is most important to produce first?

A presentation about the mechanics of BTS Margin Trading, to make the blockchain rules easy to understand

A demonstration of using Margin Trading in the web wallet, while glossing over some of the specific details of the blockchain mechanics

I think the most important is to produce (all) the differences in relation to the systems they are familiar with, I mean exchanges such as Bitfinex and Poloniex – new users will come from thease exchanges.Honestly show some lack of functionality as it appears at this stage, maybe there will be new ideas on how to improve it.

Can you do a video on governance? Getting paid >$50 a day and having no new videos for >40 days makes me feel like I can no longer vote for this worker.

Great stuff so far though! Putting more emphasis on distribution would be cool, it doesn't seem like the videos are really getting very many eyeballs, but they will be a good educational tool for the future.

The last video came out on Nov 24, and today is Dec 14, so that makes 19 days without a video -- not anything like 40 days! You're right, though; I'm running a bit behind schedule. I purchased a ceiling-mount green-screen to improve the videos, but it arrived damaged, and a new one is being sent. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. My goal is to produce three more videos by the end of the year.

I agree, the videos are really useful for bringing newcomers up to speed. I pointed someone to the Bitshares Playlist earlier today when they messaged me on an altcoin forum asking which coins were "hot" these days. Do you have any other suggestions on how to get the word out?

today after some discussion in China community, bitcrab proxy decided to vote down this worker proposal.now BTS is in very low price, we need to try everything we can to restore the confidence of the market, including stopping unimportant payment.I am sorry but I believe I am doing the right thing.

[member=22994]Chronos[/member] ,you can make Videos and get money in Steemit．Or create a UIA like VIBERZ .The investors lose too much blood,we need BTS deflation at this difficult time.

Hi [member=20]ebit[/member], those are good ideas. So far, I've felt that those routes wouldn't be effective at raising funds, which is why I haven't pursued them as an alternative at this time.

I have good news, though: the investors have not "lost blood" to this worker since its creation. In fact, as you can see from my YouTube worker account, I have not spent or sold a single BTS at the time of this writing. The BTS earned by this worker have been kept entirely off the market, which has been a boon to the market price. From one perspective, you might say that this worker has cost investors nothing. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never sell any BTS, but you can rest assured, I'm a big supporter of Bitshares, just as you are.

[member=23]bitcrab[/member] I respect your decision. I'm working on another video that I will complete and publish later this week despite the lack of funding. From there, we will need to get this worker voted in before further work will be done. Thank you!

I would be open to it, but I'm not sure that it would be better for shareholders. It may not even benefit the BitUSD market. Imagine the hypothetical: if the worker wants to sell the BitUSD, they may use force settlement to get the more liquid BTS, and then the entire effect is canceled.

Perhaps I'm missing something, though. The idea of paying workers with BitUSD should be discussed further.

I feel these videos should be posted with a creative commons licence on a bitshares channel as well as your own personal channel.With a CC licence I would be happy to vote for this worker proposal again.

Do I have permission to upload these videos to the bitshares youtube channel?

Of course! You may certainly post the videos in the Bitshares Playlist on the official Bitshares channel. These videos are owned by the Bitshares community, through this worker proposal. Just let me know if you need me to provide the original .mp4 file format.

If we get the voting support of [member=23]bitcrab[/member], we can start production again. My top priority is shorts and margin calls for smartcoins like BitCNY.
